seum, convinced me that they really belong, as Salvadori 
already suggested, to a species different from both G. sul- 
phurea and flaveola, and I am much pleased to name this 
new species, in honor of the learned Professor, who was 
the first to point to the probable specifie difference of our 
specimens from Borneo, 
Gerygone salvadorit.

Adult male: General color above ashy brown with 
an olive tinge, crown like back, upper tail-coverts some-

a rather broad, subterminal bar of darker brown and a 
white spot near the end of the inner web of all the 
feathers except the innermost pair, this spot being very 
broad on the outermost pair and becoming gradually 
narrower on the inner; wing-coverts like the back, pri- 
mary coverts and quills dark brown, the primaries nar- 
rowly edged with gray, the secondaries more broadly 
edged with ashy brown, sides of face and ear-coverts 
ashy brown; the whole under surface sulphur-yellow, 
under tail-coverts paler yellow, sides of breast very obvi- 
ously olive-brown, as also the thighs; under wing-coverts 
white with a yellowish wash, edge of wing dirty white, 
inner edge of quills pale vinous, bill black, feet brown. 
Wing 5 em.; tail 3,5; culmen 1,1; tarsus 1,6. 
Adult female: Exactly similar in color and size 
with the male. 
This new species differs from the closely allied Celebean 
G. flaveola in the (for the size of these birds very con- 
siderable: 5 mm. —) shorter wing, in having the sides of 
the breast olive-brown instead of yellow, in wanting the
